Two perspectives. One shared starting point.
Young people meet local businesses. A personal encounter can open up new perspectives.
What is a working day in a local business really like? What interests and ideas do young people bring? These questions are easier to explore when people talk and get to know each other. That is the idea behind AnkerPlatz.
From 1 November 2026, ibu institut für berufsbildung und umschulung gmbh will work with young people and regional businesses to develop and test new, accessible ways of meeting. These will complement existing careers guidance with practical insights and personal encounters.
AnkerPlatz puts personal encounters first. Here is how an initial interest can open up a new perspective:

What should that first encounter look like?

AnkerPlatz develops and tests new ideas with everyone involved. We will explore what works in everyday practice and which approaches could also be useful for future encounters and other businesses.
